-My mother and father -come from North Wales... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |

-When I went to school here... | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
-..I realized -I was different from everyone else. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |

-I learned to write cynghanedd - -strict meter poetry... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |

-I travelled around Wales, -visiting schools. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-I think the number -ran into hundreds! | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |

-It was a wonderful experience. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-I helped the chilren write poetry... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-..but it wasn't just about -creating poems. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-It was all about helping them -to realize... | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-..that there's no need -to be afraid of words. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-I encouraged them to enjoy -the words in poems and stories... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:19 | |
-..without having worry -about not being able to do it. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-Everyone can do it. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:24 | |
-There's a lovely naivety -about the way children use words. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
-Do you remember -any of the funny things they said? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
-A lot of people -have asked me that question... | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-..but nothing springs to mind. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-I hold poetry workshops -with my students at the college. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
-It's great and I enjoy it. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-I take something different -from that. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-But with children... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:51 | |
-..I feel as though I can -never predict what they'll say next. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
-Sometimes, they come out with -some totally crazy things. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-Their imagination knows no bounds. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
-That's right... | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
-..and it's important that they know -they can use those ideas. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
-I tell them to write it down, -no matter how bonkers it sounds. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-If it's bonkers, all the better. -They may win the chair one day. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |

-..and coming in to talk to us. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
-I never imagined -I'd be a poet when I grew up. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
-The thought didn't cross my mind. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
-It's so important... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
-..that someone young and cool -like you goes to the schools. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-It makes the children think -they can be like you. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
-Yes, I think it's important that -they see it's something natural... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
-..and no different from someone -talking to them about anything else. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
-Poetry can come naturally to them. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |

-The best experience of your life? | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-That's a good question. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-Maybe. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
-Singing in The Royal Opera House -for the very first time was special. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |

-Men aren't adventurous enough. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
-The bow tie opens up possibilities. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
-I think you must take -a little pride in your appearance. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |

-Leave it alone! | 0:23:32 | 0:23:33 | |
-There are no pockets -in the jackets... | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
-..and I like the idea of a hanky -to match the rest of the outfit. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
-It calls for a little subterfuge. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
-Share your secret with us. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
-This is the way to achieve the goal. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
-If a puff of wind -blows my jacket open, the game's up! | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
-I love to wear cloaks -and it's unconventional... | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
-..for a nonconformist minister -to wear a cloak. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
-I do wear it if it's bitterly cold -in the winter. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
-The cloak is heavy and thick -and you can wrap it around yourself. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:17 | |

-There's a certain stateliness to it. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |

-Most member have a conventional tie -but I had a bow tie made for me. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:44 | |
-It's white ghosts -on a black background. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
-It's already been tied, of course. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
-Tying a bow tie is an art. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
-I've tried to teach a few people -to tie a bow tie... | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
-..and it's really difficult. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
-I've had years of practise, -of course. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
-There's a certain sophistication -about a smoking jacket. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |

-The only time -I wear a conventional tie... | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
-..is with a top hat and tails. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
-It's part of the wedding outfit. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
-I like the old idea -of dressing for dinner. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
-It's a special occasion. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
-It was well worth coming -just to see your wardrobe. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
-Oh, the door squeaks! | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
-All we need now is a ghost story. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
-All we need now is a ghost story. - -All things are possible! | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |

-Welcome back to Carmarthen, -the county town of Carmarthenshire. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
-Pont King Morgan is a footbridge -which spans River Towy. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
-Carmarthen Railway Station -is under the bridge. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
-From there, trains run to Fishguard -and Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:23 | |
-Or you can head west to Swansea, -Cardiff and on to England. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
-That bridge carries traffic -in and out of the town. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
-There was a bridge here -800 years ago... | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
-..but this stone bridge -is only 80 years old. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:42 | |
-Carys Jones and Phil Edwards live -in Llansteffan, near Carmarthen. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:51 | |
-In the summer, they use part of -their home as a bed and breakfast. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:55 | |
-Aled Sam went to talk to them -and to see their house. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
-We join Aled and Carys... | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
-..as they talk about using colours -in a room with a high ceiling. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:06 | |
-For help to follow the programme, -use the website and the app... | 0:38:08 | 0:38:13 | |
-..and don't forget the subtitles! | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
-I decide what to do with a room -long before I work on it. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:29 | |
-I buy everything beforehand... | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
-..and I draw up detailed plans -before I get started. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
-What's the interior designer's -rule of thumb... | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
-..regarding ceiling colour? | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
-Can you explain why you chose -this colour for the ceiling? | 0:38:43 | 0:38:47 | |
-I chose a dark shade from -the colour palate for the ceiling. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:52 | |
-Most people would be shocked -and they'd say it's too dark... | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
-..but it works well -in a room like this. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
-There's a lot of headroom in here -and it's a light room. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
-A white ceiling in a room like this -can make it feel impersonal. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:10 | |
-It can seem very cold. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
-The dark ceiling -helps you focus on the floor. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:16 | |
-Lighting is more effective too. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
-We step out of the lounge -into the hall. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
-There are echoes of the sea here. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
-There are echoes of the sea here. - -Yes, a strong maritime theme. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
-I stuck some seashells on the wall -and I painted over them. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:49 | |
-Most of the maritime objects in here -has been here for several years. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:54 | |
-I've redecorated since then but -I didn't change the colour scheme. | 0:39:55 | 0:40:00 | |
-I'm very fond of these colours. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
-You've done something interesting -to the stairs. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:08 | |
-Rope softens the staircase. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
-Spindles don't reinforce -the handrail... | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
-..so I replaced the spindles -with the rope. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |
-It softens this area of the house. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
-It fits in with the maritime theme. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
-We take bed and breakfast guests -over the summer... | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
-..and this is the first thing -our guests see. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
-It usually makes -a good impression on them. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
-The bed and breakfast bedrooms -are on the first floor. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
-They're all -named after local rivers. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:58 | |
-These unremarkable stairs -seem to lead to nowhere... | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
-..but you couldn't be more wrong. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
-Look at this! | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
-This is Phil and Carys's -fantastic bedroom. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:38 | |
-There are acres of shelves -for books and clothes... | 0:41:38 | 0:41:42 | |
-..and there's a clothes rail -over there. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
-There are some names -written on those intriguing doors. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
-There are some more doors over here. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
-They're old pew doors, -from a church. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
-The church was renovated and Carys -and Phil bought some of the doors. | 0:41:55 | 0:42:00 | |
-The names of the houses -where the congregation lived... | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
-..are painted on them. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
-What do we have over here? | 0:42:07 | 0:42:08 | |
-A very useful area. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:10 | |
-There's a toilet and a basin -over here... | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
-..and this is a shower. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
-You could hop out of bed and into -the shower to scrub your smalls... | 0:42:17 | 0:42:21 | |
-..at the crack of dawn. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
-Do you spend a lot of time in here, -other than when you're eating? | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
-I spend all my time in here and -you spend a lot of time in here. | 0:42:57 | 0:43:01 | |
-We spend our waking hours in here. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
-It's turned into -a traditional, Welsh kitchen. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
-Everyone gathers in here to talk. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
-We sit here and talk -after we've been out for a meal... | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
-..and we watch television in here, -rather than in the lounge. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:20 | |
-We hardly use the lounge because -people tend to gather in here. | 0:43:20 | 0:43:24 | |
-When I'm preparing a meal... | 0:43:27 | 0:43:29 | |
-..I don't have to miss out on -a social gathering to go and cook. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:35 | |
-I can cook, clear up, wash up and -still be part of the conversation... | 0:43:36 | 0:43:42 | |
-..or watch television. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
-I've now come to Merlin's Walk - -Maes Myrddin. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:52 | |
-There are many tales and myths -about Merlin in this area. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:57 | |
-Merlin is mentioned -in The Black Book of Carmarthen. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:02 | |
-Caer Fyrddin, the Welsh name for -the town, isn't linked to Merlin. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:08 | |
-It's the Welsh form -of the Roman name Moridunum. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:12 | |
-We'll learn about the town's history -in our final clip... | 0:44:13 | 0:44:17 | |
-..when Iolo Williams meets Elinor -Wyn Reynolds on her allotment... | 0:44:17 | 0:44:21 | |
-..which stands on land -once owned by the Black Friars. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
-For help to follow the programme, -see the website, download the app... | 0:44:25 | 0:44:31 | |
-..and don't forget the subtitles! | 0:44:31 | 0:44:33 | |
-Weeding is a big job here, Elinor. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:37 | |
-Weeding is a big job here, Elinor. - -At least the weeds are healthy! | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
-I might find a few vegetables -for a few meals. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:43 | |
-It looks good. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |
-As I walked around, it struck me -what a historic town Carmarthen is. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:51 | |
-Every corner is steeped in history. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:54 | |
-You may think -this is just an allotment... | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
-..but this was once the site -of the monastery... | 0:44:57 | 0:45:02 | |
-..where the monks wrote -the famous Black Book of Carmarthen. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:07 | |
-There is nothing -more historic than that. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
-Carmarthen people -are aware of our history... | 0:45:11 | 0:45:15 | |
-..but we also look to the future. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
-You must have seen major -developments over the past decade. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:22 | |
-You make me sound ancient! | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
-A lot has happened -over the past five years. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:28 | |
-Huge commercial developments have -changed the face of the town centre. | 0:45:28 | 0:45:33 | |
-I hope they haven't changed it -too much. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
-It's a lively town with plenty -of local traders and chain stores. | 0:45:39 | 0:45:43 | |
-Time will tell. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:45 | |
-River Towy was -part of the town's appeal... | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
-..as it was used to transport goods. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:53 | |
-But the Black Death -was brought here via river trade! | 0:45:54 | 0:45:58 | |
-The John Daniel Press -on King Street... | 0:45:58 | 0:46:01 | |
-..promoted the anti-slavery message. | 0:46:01 | 0:46:05 | |
-Spurrell, the publisher, -worked here. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
-Hymn-writers and poets lived -in Carmarthen and continue to do so. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:14 | |
-You moved away -but were drawn back to the area. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:18 | |
-Mam used to say -that Carmarthen had everything. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:22 | |
-She meant in the context of shopping -but it's true in general. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:26 | |
-Carmarthen has so much to offer. | 0:46:26 | 0:46:29 | |
-There's rural peace and quiet here -but it's also a bustling town. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:34 | |

-You can catch a train to London -or a ferry to Ireland. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:43 | |
-Carmarthen links you to the world. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:46 | |
-It's a great place to raise kids. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
-It's a great place to raise kids. - -And to grow vegetables! | 0:46:49 | 0:46:51 | |
-I need to do more weeding! | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
-I'll help you if I can separate -the weeds from the vegetables! | 0:46:54 | 0:46:58 | |
-Be careful! | 0:46:58 | 0:46:59 | |
-That's the end -of my visit to Carmarthen. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:09 | |
